Description from the creator

Abbreviated version - an Air Admittance Valve (AAV) does not fix a slow draining vessel sink.

The problem occurs because there is positive air pressure stuck in the pipe between the p-trap and the drain cover "pushes" back on the water pooling in the bowl. If you allow that air to escape then the water will drain nice and fast.

You can allow that air to escape by using a Dishwasher Branch Tailpiece, clear plastic tubing, two hose clamps and an "old work gang box".
